I seem to recall bending for the joints- cut short straw bend in the middle and pinch so that the verticals and horizontals cover it up. The straws expand a bit and make a very tight friction fit - you have one shot at - don't pull it apart once together. Building four sides (four sided structure) and a bottom and doubling or running parallel straws will build in redunancy.

It held up 2-1/2 bricks, or at least double of anyone elses design.
